Max Factor - Fantasy Fire

Max Factor hit the bullseye when they released this gorgeous blurple shimmer. I don't think anyone can look at it and stay indiferent. I'm talking about Fantasy Fire, of course.

I must admit, at first I thought I'd never buy this one. It's small, quite pricey and it's Max Factor (I don't like this brand for various reasons). But then I saw it in a store and I said to myself - what the hell... =) I think it was ~ 4€ for a very small, undefined amount of polish. This polish is sheer, so it's best to layer it over some other shade. Otherwise you'll end up with three coats on your nails and a still visible nail line.

BYS, Matte Charcoal, 1 coat + Max Factor, Fantasy Fire, 2 coats

I don't think I need to tell you this polish looks much better in real life. It appears kind of washed out on my photos no matter how much I tried but I think you got the idea.

What do you think? Would you pay more money for a shade like this one?

I was thinking of it today but I didn't buy it. I have to admit, that it is very very beautiful, but for me it was a problem that I couldn't find any info about the size, and I don't even have a guess. Maybe an other time I'll buy it, not sure though...

Maybe the polish is worth the prize, because it looks so BEAUTIFUL!BUT, I would never ever pay 4€ for a tiny bottle like this. Not that I wouldn't have the money, but it's a shame to produce a polish with just a few ml/oz.And I don't like MaxFactor!

I was talking a look at the Max Factor display on Saturday to see if by any chance they had this but I couldn't find it. Apparently it's only sold in England or something. The bottles are indeed small and a bit expensive, but I wouldn't mind to pay a little extra for this beauty.

I got one throught a swap with a lovely brit that asked me some Ludurana nail polish (hooray for internet and international mail!).Its a small bottle but so cute (I love mini bottles).Thanks for the swatch.

I love Fantasy Fire and your pictures are gorgeous! If you layer it over another color, you don't need to use so much product and anyway, I never finish any bottle! I got mine thanks to a kind blogger in UK who sent me a bottle!! :-))

I have never seen Max Factor polishes ever anywhere here on the east coast of usa. My mom used MF makeup but I haven't seen it around for decades. The polish looks fab in the photo. Is 4 Euros around the price of, say, Butter London polishes?
